TONIGHT - THE RUMBLE: SEATTLE @ HAVANA SOCIAL CLUB

The first week of May promises to be FEROCIOUS musically - as San Francisco's dynamic duo known as THE FEROCIOUS FEW hit the road, starting TONIGHT, and play the West Coast leg of THE RUMBLE.

This evening @ Havana Social Club,THE RUMBLE: SEATTLEshowcases a band that we got tipped off about from SOUND ON THE SOUND - THE HEAD & THE HEART. I think "Sounds Like Hallelujah" has appeared on every personal mix I've made since this discovery. This band could be the US version of MUMFORD & SONS, and we'll get to see for ourselves this evening in the intimate space of the Havana Social Club.

San Francisco's THE FEROCIOUS FEW have released "Juices", their Birdman Records debut, and a culmination of their songwriting craft that they have worked on religiously on every street corner in San Francisco and Oakland. Known for their guerrilla sidewalk shows outside concerts and street fairs, that generally end in near arrests, the FF are a blues explosion that's part Black Keys, part Robert Johnson at the Crossroads.

As always, The Rumble Seattle is FREE and is brought to you by the indie-minded collective of Future Sounds, The Stranger, Line Out, Easy Street Records, The Wig, Trumer Pils and Spin Earth. We're also thrilled to have a new partner joining the fold - Seattle blogger SOUND ON THE SOUND. We've been reading this blog for years and they've helped with great tips on bands we'd never have known about, and now they'll be helping us pick bands. This is indie supporting indie!
